Habsburgwarte, Protected observation tower in Döbling district, Vienna, Austria.
The Habsburgwarte stands at 27 meters tall on Hermannskogel hill, featuring a medieval architectural design with stone walls and viewing platforms.
The Austrian Tourist Club constructed this tower in 1889 to commemorate Emperor Franz Joseph I's 40th jubilee, with architect Franz von Neumann leading the project.
From 1892 until the 1920s, the tower served as kilometer zero for cartographic measurements throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire, marked by a memorial plaque.
The tower opens to visitors on weekends and public holidays between April and October, requiring a small entrance fee to support maintenance costs.
The viewing platform allows visitors to observe 22,452 square kilometers of landscape, representing one-quarter of Austria's total surface area.
